Armstrong Cup Result – Loss 5-3 to Dublin

Our Armstrong Cup side lost 5-3 to Dublin Chess Club. Wins for David and Conor, and draws for Irek and Dario. Lucasz was unfortunate to lose in a time scramble. Thanks to Tony and Irek who was playing as substitued for us. We are in a real relagation battle, and every point counts, so the next battle is away to Dun Laoghaire in a few weeks on March 9th.

Remaining Fixtures

Excellent win for our Heidenfeld team away to Celbridge

Our Heidenfeld Trophy side won 5.5 to 2.5 away to Celbridge last night. Excellent wins for Marius, Fergal, Bogdan, Tony and Tom, and a draw for Michael, hard luck to Ogantis and Mohamad who lost.

Celbridge are a good side and have be between the Armstrong and Heidenfeld divisions over the past couple of years, and would have out rated us on most boards especially the higher ones.

League Table

The league table will look a little better, and we have some crucial games coming up against Rathmines A and Lucan who with us are in a dog fight to stay in the division and our last game is against the league leaders Rathmines B in our last game of the season.

Heidenfeld Trophy

Armstrong Cup lost 5-3 to Bray

A depleted Armstrong Cup team lost 5-3 to Bray last night. Excellent wins for subs Bogdan and Mohammad, draws for Kevin and Conor. Thanks to the subs Bogdan, Mohammad, Tom and Micheal for playing.

On a funny note our two victor on the night and one of our draws came from the guys who were late due to the traffic being so bad, but they made up for the 40+ minutes or so they were down on time and contributed to a great result.
